    Notes: Summary To determine if parental hypertension is associated with proteinuria in offspring with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), 438 diabetic Pima Indians (172 men, 266 women) aged 20 years or more and both of their parents were examined. Hypertension was defined as a systolic blood pressure 140 mm Hg or more, diastolic blood pressure 90 mm Hg or more, or treatment with antihypertensive medicine. Sixty-three percent of the fathers and 80 % of the mothers had diabetes at the time their blood pressure was measured. Families in which either parent had proteinuria, defined as a urine protein-to-creatinine ratio ≥ 0.5 g/g were excluded; 73 (16.7 %) of the offspring had proteinuria. The prevalence rates of proteinuria in the offspring were similar if neither parent or only one parent had hypertension (8.9 and 9.4 %, respectively), but was significantly higher if both parents had hypertension (18.8 %), after adjustment for age, sex, duration of diabetes, and 2-h post-load plasma glucose concentration in the offspring and diabetes in the parents by logistic regression. The odds for proteinuria being present in the offspring if both parents had hypertension was 2.2 times (95 % confidence interval, 1.2 to 4.2) that if only one parent had hypertension. When mean arterial pressure and blood pressure treatment in the offspring were added to the model the relationship remained (odds ratio = 2.2; 95 % confidence interval, 1.1 to 4.3). Hypertension in both parents is associated with the development of proteinuria in offspring with NIDDM. This relationship was present even when controlled for the effects of blood pressure and its treatment in the offspring. [Diabetologia (1996) 39: 433–438]

    Notes: Abstract To investigate the effects of antihypertensive treatment with the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor lisinopril on insulin sensitivity and related metabolic variables, the insulin sensitivity index (SI), determined with the Minimal Model Method of Bergman, fasting plasma insulin and glucose concentrations, serum total triglyceride and lipoprotein cholesterol fractions, and blood pressure were assessed in 24 lean, non-diabetic patients with essential hypertension. Following a double-blind, randomised crossover design, these parameters were measured after a 4-week run-in period, after 8 weeks of lisinopril or placebo, and after an additional 8 weeks on placebo or lisinopril, respectively. Furthermore, the level of physical fitness was estimated using the Conconi bicycle ergometer test. SI was low in this study population (5.6 vs 13.3 · 10−4·min−1·mU−1·1−1 in normal lean control subjects). It did not differ between the placebo run-in phase, the lisinopril phase, and the placebo crossover phase (5.8, 5.5, and 5.4·10−4·min−1·mU−1·1−1, respectively). Moreover, during the administration of lisinopril, no significant changes occurred in fasting plasma insulin and glucose, areas under the glucose and insulin curves, glucose disappearance rate, serum total triglycerides, and cholesterol or lipoprotein cholesterol fractions. Heart rate at rest, body weight, and anaerobic threshold remained stable throughout the study. Compliance assessed by pill-counting exceeded 90% at all visits. These findings demonstrate that the ACE inhibitor lisinopril is neutral with regard to insulin sensitivity, plasma insulin and glucose, and lipoprotein metabolism in patients with essential hypertension.

    Notes: Summary To evaluate the effects of long-term treatment antihypertensive with the dihydropyridine calcium antagonist amlodipine on insulin sensitivity, plasma insulin, and lipoprotein metabolism in obese hypertensive patients. We measured the insulin sensitivity index (SI), determined by the Minimal Model Method of Bergman, fasting plasma insulin and glucose concentrations, serum total triglyceride and lipoprotein cholesterol fractions, and blood pressure in 20 obese, non-diabetic patients with essential hypertension before and after 6 weeks of placebo and again after 6 months of amlodipine. Ten patients [mean body mass index (BMI) 30.2 kg·m−2] had been on prior treatment with a thiazide diuretic in low dosage and/or a β-adrenoceptor blocker (group A), and 10 matched patients [BMI 31.8 kg·m−2] had been previously untreated (group B). Amlodipine was started in a dose of 5 mg and was increased to 10 mg once daily in 14 patients who were hypertensive after 8 weeks on the lower dosage. At entry (before placebo), SI was slightly but not significantly lower in group A than B [2.7 vs. 3.6×10−4 ml·μU−4·min−1]; fasting plasma insulin was 13.6 vs. 12.9 μU·ml−1. After 6 weeks on placebo, SI averaged 3.7 in group A and 4.4×10−4 μU·ml−1·min−1 in group B; fasting plasma insulin was 14.6 vs. 15.1 μU·ml−1, and glucose 5.5 vs. 5.5 mmol·l−1. After 6 months on amlodipine there were no differences in SI [group A vs. group B, 5.2 vs. 3.8×10−4 ml·μU−1·min−1], fasting insulin [13.0 vs. 12.7 μU·ml−1], glucose [5.4 vs. 5.5 mmol·l−1], serum total triglycerides, and cholesterol or lipoprotein cholesterol fractions. Compared with placebo, amlodipine significantly reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressures. Heart rate, body weight, and 24 h urinary sodium excretion were unaltered. Long-term treatment with amlodipine does not affect insulin sensitivity, circulating insulin or glucose, or lipoprotein metabolism in obese, non-diabetic patients with essential hypertension.

    Notes: Abstract Aims/hypothesis. The aim of this study was to examine the possible link between isolated post-challenge hyperglycaemia (2-h post-challenge plasma glucose ≥ 11.1 mmol/l, and fasting plasma glucose 〈 7.0 mmol/l) and mortality. Methods. The data from three population based longitudinal studies (in Mauritius, Fiji and Nauru) were pooled and mortality rates were determined in 9179 people who were followed for between 5 and 12 years. Results. There were 595 people with previously diagnosed diabetes, and 799 with newly diagnosed diabetes, of whom 243 (31) had isolated post-challenge hyperglycaemia. In comparison with people without diabetes, people with isolated post-challenge hyperglycaemia had an increased risk of all-cause mortality [Cox proportional hazards ratio (95 % CI): 2.7 (1.8–3.9) – men; 2.0 (1.3–3.3) – women], and of cardiovascular mortality [2.3 (1.2–4.2) – men; 2.6 (1.3–5.1) – women]. In addition, men with isolated post-challenge hyperglycaemia had a high risk of cancer death [8.0 (3.6–17.9)]. Conclusion/interpretation. These data show that isolated post-challenge hyperglycaemia, which can only be identified by the 2-h glucose, is common, and at least doubles the mortality risk. This should be considered in the design of screening programmes that use only fasting glucose [Diabetologia (1999) 42: 1050–1054]
